Here's the deal: Create the best command squad utilizing as many points as possible. Then, compare it to the post above yours and list why yours is better and why yours is worse, essentially having a virtual hero battle. I'll start with nids.
Command Squad: Tyranid Prime; Lash and BS, Scything Talons, Adrenal Glands, Toxin Sacs, Regen 125pts
Tyranid Warriors(9); x9 lash and bs, x1 venom cannon, x8 deathspitter, adrenal glands, toxin sacs 550pts
Total: 675 pts

When you say command squad, do you mean a squad that has to be taken with the commander or one that is influenced by it?

Just my 2 cents

I mean an HQ and a squad that is an add-on, something you can only take with that HQ. Example: Space Marine Chapter Master w/ full Honor Guard. Nids don't really have anything other than tyrant guard, which can be taken regardless, so I just used warriors.

Yeah, but Warriors aren't a retinue or, well, anything related to what you just said. You're breaking your own rules.

In a straight hero battle you'd be hard pressed to beat the snaguinor, I think he can even beat Lelith Hesperix (however the hell you spell her name) one on one (especially if he charges) unless the SW have some other equally cheesy character killer.

Non apoc I'm not quite sure. Abaddon with a full retinue of Khorne Terminators outfitted with Chainfists and Lightning Claws will chew through anything. Logan Grimnar likewise outfitted with his own Wolf Guard Terminators is also a force to be reckoned with. Vulkan with a bunch of TH/SS terminators arn't too shabby either, or Astorath jumping out with a full unit of Jump pack and various power weapon (TH included) DC with lemartes can be pretty brutal too.

It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die. Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-donkey-caves. Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse. To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies. |

True, my imagination is the equivalent of a zoopankton's, but I was going for pure wounds and number of hits than power.
Although, a nob squad can also take a Battlewagon. Do vehicles count in this little contest?
